QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Dr WEBSTER (Mallee) (14:45): My question is to the Prime Minister. Today I met with older Australians at Parliament House who are scared of Labor's $11 billion tax on private health insurance. This health tax means older Australians will face a 21 per cent surge in insurance premiums, and out-of-pocket costs increasing by over $800 a year for an individual and more than $1,600 for a couple.

Why is the Prime Minister imposing another toxic tax on millions of older Australians?
